Cookie Policy

This page explains what cookies and similar browser technologies are, what types Cricbolo may use, why they matter for sessions or site improvement, and how visitors can manage their cookie choices through browser or platform controls.

Last updated: March 12, 2026 Related page: Privacy policy Scope: browser storage and similar tools

What cookies are

Cookies are small files or browser-based storage tools used to remember information about a session, device, or set of preferences. Similar technologies may perform related functions for security, measurement, or site continuity.

In practice, they often help a website remember that a user has already opened a session, selected a preference, or returned to the same browser later.

Essential and session cookies

These may support page delivery, session continuity, login state where relevant, security checks, or other functions the site relies on to operate correctly.

Without this type of storage, some parts of a site may reload unexpectedly, forget a session, or fail to carry out basic validation steps.

Preference cookies

These may remember settings or display choices so returning visitors do not have to reset the same preferences each time they return to Cricbolo.

Preference storage is usually about convenience rather than necessity, but it can make a repeat visit feel more consistent and easier to use.

Measurement and improvement cookies

These may help Cricbolo understand which pages are being used, where visitors encounter friction, and which parts of the site need performance, layout, or navigation improvement.

Used carefully, this kind of measurement helps the site improve structure and performance rather than relying only on guesswork.

Cookie choices in practice

Browser controls can change how the site behaves for returning visitors

If you block all cookies Some session continuity, remembered settings, security checks, or account-linked tools may not work as expected.
If you clear cookies often The site may treat repeat visits more like new visits, which can reset preferences and remove certain continuity benefits.
If you allow only essential tools You may keep core functionality while limiting some convenience or measurement features, depending on what the browser and site controls allow.
If the cookie setup changes later The published cookie explanation should be updated so visitors can understand whether a new category or new third-party tool has been introduced.
Similar technologies

Cookies are part of a wider browser-storage picture

  • Similar functions may also be performed through local storage, session storage, security tokens, or other browser-based tools
  • Different tools may store data for different periods depending on whether they support a live session, a saved preference, or measurement
  • Not every storage tool is used for advertising or profiling; some exist purely for continuity, protection, or basic site operation
  • The Privacy page should be read together with this page if you want the broader explanation of how information from these tools may fit into platform records
How cookie information may be used

Cookie categories should match clear operational purposes

Session continuity Helps a browser remember that a visitor is still in the same session, especially where interactive tools or account features depend on continuity.
Remembered choices Helps preserve settings such as preferences or display choices so repeat visits feel more consistent.
Site measurement Helps identify which pages perform well and which parts of the site may need structural improvement or debugging.
Security and abuse prevention May support fraud detection, request validation, or other checks that help the platform stay usable and trustworthy.
Third-party tools and controls

Some cookies may come from tools used to support the site

  • If Cricbolo uses third-party services such as analytics, security tooling, embedded content, or delivery infrastructure, those services may also place or read cookies
  • Those third-party services may have their own policies, which visitors should review separately where relevant
  • Visitors can usually manage cookies through browser settings and, where available, through any on-site controls
  • Blocking some categories may affect how certain pages, sessions, or remembered settings behave
Retention and expiry

Some cookie tools last only for a session, while others last longer

Session cookies usually expire when a browsing session ends. Persistent cookies or similar storage tools may stay on a device until they expire or are removed manually. The retention period depends on the purpose of the tool and how Cricbolo configures it.

  • Session tools usually support continuity during a visit
  • Persistent tools may preserve preferences or measurement settings across visits
  • Visitors can clear cookies manually through browser controls
  • Material changes to cookie categories should be reflected in an updated version of this page
Cookies and privacy

This page works together with the privacy and security pages

Cookies are only one part of the information-handling picture. The Privacy page explains how broader user information may be used or retained, and the Data Security page explains the platform's approach to protecting information and responding to security issues.

That is why this page focuses on browser-level tools while the other policy pages explain what happens to the surrounding records, support interactions, or security context connected with site use.

Important limit: no advertising, tracking, or profiling practice should be assumed unless it is described in the current published Cricbolo policy set.
